Great stuff - love seeing numbers match up with eye test theories like Draymond getting away with stuff :) It reminds me of something in soccer. Goalies who waste time are supposed to be booked by the ref, and when they do it again, they should be booked for a second time and sent off. But in reality, once a keeper gets booked for time wasting, you know he's off the hook and can waste time as much as wants for the rest of the match, because very very few refs will actually send a player off for that.
I would be curious if Draymond maintaining the same defensive rating with 1 tech/flagrant is different than other players with the same penalties called. It is presented as a given that a player would be less aggressive and therefore would reduce their efficacy as a defender, but I would be curious if other defensive players experience that decline where he doesn't.

Perfect comparison.

Brilliant as always; that scraping work is fantastic; would love to know how it aligns with your ref report cards.
